World's Smallest PLC - Aromat NAIS FP0

Aromat NAIS/Matsushita Electric Works established a new world standard "SLIM" PLC. Starting from 10 I/O to 32 I/O, the CPU is only 25(w) x 90(h) x 70(d)mm. This is about 1/4 the size of the traditional bulky PLC style called "Brick". The FP0 saves precious panel space and money. Relay output types have removable screw terminal blocks. Power supply connector is also quick disconnect. Easy installation specially when you duplicate many systems. Up to 16 loops of PID and auto tuning are built into this “SLIM” PLC. The FP0 uses floating point math for its PID calculation which is more accurate than an integer PID. With the new thermocouple input unit, the FP0 can easily and accurately control temperature while it’s controlling I/O. The PID values can be easy calculated by the built-in auto tuning feature. 16 Auto Tuning loops can run at same time. The I-PD algorithm is also available to offer smoother control for sensitive applications. The picture left shows how smal...
